Galleri Image is a non-commercial exhibition space which aims to promote high quality photo based art by showing Danish and international photography and video. Founded in 1977, the gallery is the longest running non-profit exhibition space for photographic art in Scandinavia, and for many years was the only photo art gallery in Denmark.

SPACE POETRY exists since the early 1980s, when Jesper Fabricius, Claus Egemose, Jesper Rasmussen, and Joergen Brandt Birman published “Kontainer”, a catalogue with photos from an exhibition they had made in 1979. Since then, more than 300 titles, including the collaborative magazine Pist Protta and Kunsthæfte have been released.

Banja Rathnov Galleri & Kunsthandel presents a respectable selection of Danish and international photography and art books, both new and used, hand-picked by Banja Rathnov, the artistic director and curator of the Museumsbygningen in Copenhagen.
